Crimson Shroud

"The cogs of this tale are set in motion when Lord Lilenthal commissions Giauque to seek out a missing friar, Brother Andrea..."

Crimson Shroud is an Adventure Game influenced by tabletop role-playing games, with the simulated usage of dice to determine the strength or weakness of certain effects. Originally packaged in the Guild01 set in Japan, it was later released as a standalone 3DS eShop title in US and Europe. It is directed by Yasumi Matsuno and developed by Level 5. Its first trailer contains a number of clues about the characters, setting and plot.
